Sketched August 22, 2011, while I was waiting for my delayed flight to Lisbon.

lots of clay pots

I'm going to make a lot of sketches.  I'm taking the "quantity begets quality" approach.  There's an anecdote about a pottery instructed who split his class into two groups. One group would be graded on one single clay pot that they made.  The other group would be graded on the weight of all of the pots that they made.  At the end of the class, those that had made more pots had also ended up making better pots, too.

The goal: average 5 sketches each week.
